Headed to the Reno Rodeo and don’t have anything to wear? (You don’t want to look like a city slicker, even if you are one!) Or just looking for western apparel providers in Reno, Nevada? Well, you’re in luck because this western city has you covered head to toe. In addition to on-site vendors at the rodeo grounds, there are a slew of western supply stores here in the Reno Tahoe area which are ready to get you clothed up like a cowboy or garbed up like a cowgirl.

Proper attire for the rodeo is crucial to the event! Selfie taking opportunities will not present themselves if you get here to find out you’ve left your snazzy cattle boots, rugged jeans and rustic plaid shirts at home. So if you fall into that category, or just want to pick up some cowboy/girl appropriate attire, these stores will be able to help out.

If you are searching the horizon for a more urban cowboy look, and quite possibly this is your first time visiting the Reno Rodeo, stroll on over to Cabelas located at 8650 Boomtown Road in Verdi (just outside Reno) Nevada. Pick up some delicious caramel popcorn while you traverse the open fields of apparel and hunting supplies as you play animal bingo with the various taxidermy exhibits. You are sure to find your rodeo gear, and another reason to come back to Reno. For more information visit Cabelas.com or call (775) 829-4100.

If you’re the seasoned Rodeo visitor and are looking for something more custom fitted, you should journey on over to D Bar M Western Store located at 1020 E 4th Street. D Bar M titles itself as “A real western store for real cowboys” but if you are a first time cowboy the staff will be able to help you navigate through the overwhelming array of American made boots and country appeal. For more information about D Bar M Visit dbarm.com or call (775) 329-9107.

If you are on a budget and want the modern cowboy look, trail on down to Boot Barn Located at 3345 Kietzke ln. Boot Barn would definitely have the necessary clothing lines to deck out you or your whole family with their wide selection of dressy casual and modern rugged rancher looks.

If you are in a hurry, or find yourself wrongly dressed, ride on down to Rogers’s Cowboy Supplies. From June 19th to 28th Rogers will be at the southeast corner of the Reno Livestock Events Center (on site for the Rodeo), or normally find them at 2252 Oddie Blvd in Sparks. Rogers offers a wide array of anything western! And if that isn’t a reason enough to check it out, family patriarch Garry Roger and his brothers have been Indian World Champion Team Ropers.

The inflating cost of flying can be a drag for skiers and boarders who often prefer bringing their own boards/skis/poles/boots to renting and having to deal with adjusting to new equipment. Luckily for skiers and boarders coming to Reno-Tahoe, chances are they will be flying an airline that doesn’t charge. Southwest Airlines, for example, is Reno-Tahoe International Airport’s biggest carrier.

Here is a breakdown of the baggage costs for carriers flying into Reno-Tahoe:

Alaska Airlines: First bag free, with no penalty for ski bags

Allegiant Air: First bag free, with no penalty for ski bags

American Airlines: First bag $15, with no additional penalty for ski bags

Delta Airlines: First bag free, with no penalty for ski bags

Horizon Air: First bag free, with no penalty for ski bags

Southwest Airlines: First bag free, with no penalty for ski bags

United Airlines: First bag $15, with no additional penalty for ski bags

U.S. Airways: First bag $15, subject to penalties for bags over 45 inches/114 cm and maximum weight of 50 pounds/23 kg.

It is worth noting that even if you can get your ski bag on the airplane for a reasonable price, airlines impose extra charges for bags that weigh over 50 pounds – with some charging in excess of $100.
